Rev. [Donna] Schaper, pastor of Judson Memorial Church in New York City, wrote a recent article for the liberal Jewish monthly Tikkun about the abortion she had nineteen years ago. She says she's "neither bragging nor apologizing."
. . . She even names the aborted child, "Alma," which means soul. She also admits that what she did was the taking of a human life. She even calls it murder:
"I did what was right for me, for my family, for my work, for my husband, and for my three children. I happen to agree that abortion is a form of murder. I think the quarrel about when life begins is disrespectful to the fetus. I know I murdered the life within me. I could have loved that life but chose not to. I did what men do all the time when they take us to war: they choose violence because, while they believe it is bad, it is still better than the alternatives."

Went to the original site and read the full story, was quite interesting to read the story and all the comments. I am horrified that someone would do such a thing and then claim they did the "right" thing, a PASTOR of all people!
This story reminds me of a great book I read once called "Deadline" by Randy Alcorn. I'd definitely recommend this book, it's a wonderful piece of Christian Fiction and addresses the issue of abortion in a dramatic and impressive way.
